Automaton Biographies

Automaton Biographies is the first full-length solo poetry book by novelist Larissa Lai (When Fox is a Thousand, Salt Fish Girl). With an ear to the white noise of advertising, pop music, CNN, biotechnology, the Norton Anthology of English Literature, cereal packaging, MuchMusic, Sanrio, critical theory, science fiction, antiracist organizing, rivers and streams, the internet, and Hollywood, Lai explores the problem of what it means to exist on the boundaries of the human. --Arsenal Pulp Press.
